@-Now that the dates have been fixed for the
Democratic primaries in Baltimore county, the
political ball is fairly in motion and is gaining
in velocity with every revolution. In most Of
the districts lively fights are in progress and all
kinds of rumors rife affecting either one side
or the other. In some sections the temperance
question is being made something of an issue and
some Of the candidates are being very closely
watched and all their acts carefully noted. The
amount of ornate lying that will be done between
now and the 23d of July is something terrible to
contemplate. 1t makes one fairly shudder to
think Of some Of the things that not few of the
candidates are being accused of, but this kind of
rrcctf0uSCrfng cHnn0t MIN IN tho emu. Tar better
to make a fair, square fight and to lose, than to
win by circulating false reports about your neigh
bors and by downright trickery. A mans UNDER
hand deeds and lying may serve him present
purpose, but they will, in the end, be found out
and scored up against him. Don't try to win by
smirching the name and reputation of your neigh
Dor, who is equally as good, if not better, than
you are. Make a fair, open-handed fight and if
you lose you will not have sacrificed the good
opinion Of your friends, who you may need some
other timeto help you out. Be true to your friends,
be manly and self-respecting and you will have
20 regrets when the contest is over.

@g- With the opening of the fashionable season
at the seaside resorts, the death role of accidental
drownings also opens. In some cases, perhaps,
these casualties are unavoidable. All men are
liable to be seized by cramps, vertigos and other
sudden ailments at unexpected moments, which
may result in DEATH But even these would not
result fatally but for theimprudence the bathers,
who too often place themselves in unnecessary
danger by venturing beyond the safety linc To
dash into the heaviest breakers and to pass be-
yond them is the ambition of entirely too many
bathers. There is no necessity for this and those
who do it seem animated by no other object but
to show off before their less venturesome fellow
bathers. Sensible people, even though they be
good swimmers, will rest content to take their
plunges in less dangerous localities, where, should
sudden attacks come upon them instant rescue is
at hand. Drowning at the seashore is too often
self-invitei.

rs The Pennsylvania Railroad Company gave
very delightful journalistic excursion to Cresson
Springs last week, which started from Baltimore
and was enjoyed by representatives of the press
from Washington, Baltimore, Philadelphia and
elsewhere. Mr.. Robert E. Boyd, the Baltimore
passenger agent, was in charge of the guests from
that city, and contributed largely to their enjoy
ment. The Evening News says 'the excursionists
were particularly indebted to Mr.. Boyd for marked
personal attentions. From the moment the train
left this city to that which marked its return to
Union depot he was simply ubiquitous. Nothing
was neglected; nothing overlooked, and each ex-
cursionist felt at the end of the journey personal
attachment for the genial agent with whom per-
haps he or she was hardly acquainted when the
trip began. His thoughtful attention and unvary-
ing courtesy to all increased the high regard of
those who knew and appreciated him before, and
inspired lasting esteem in those who did not 1t

and judiciously appointed"

Rapid Accumulation Of Money.


A Baltimore lawyer, in overhauling his papers,
came upon bank account from which the follow
ing statement was drawn up: Lydia Truett a
coored woman, who was domestic in the family
of tho late Mr.. Alexander Murdoch in February,
1920, put in the Savings Bank of Baltimore, $40.
On May 20, the same year, she deposited $3.50,
and October Is, 1921, she deposited $3.50, max
ing $1O1 in all. She drew out $3.50, and died
some years after without depositing or drawing
out any more. Having no relatives, as far as was
known, the money remained in bank, drawing in
terest, and having the dividends added until the
year 1875, when a nephew and niece living in
Delaware in some way got knowledge of the fact
of the deposit and its accumulations. They ap-
piled to the bank, and after administration in the
Orphans Court and proper legal evidence being
furnished, the bank paid the money to the heirs.
The original $94.50 had by the regular course of
legal accretion in the saving bank grown to the
astounding figures of $2,31S.57 in ffty-years. Of
course now, with the lower rate ofintorest, the ac
emulation would not run up with such amazing
rapidity.

u.s. Mayor Hewitt, of New York, expressed the
true patriotism Of every good American citizen
when he said to reporter in answer to why he
ordered the flag raised over the City Hall: 81
ordered the flag raised in honor of Queen who
has reigned over her people for fifty years, and a
Queen who was our friend in the trying times of
civil war. 1t is within my personal knowledge
that she was asked to join with the French Gov
eminent in the recognition of the Southern Con-
federacy, and that she refused to do SO. take
tho entire responsibility of raising the flags on
this occasion, and have issued orders that while
I am Mayor no flags but our national and munic-
ipal flags shall be raised over the City Hail."

On the twenty fourth anniversary Of the battle
of Gettysburg many veterans will assemble on the
historic field, to renew the memories of the great
battle. A most interesting reunion will take
place this year. The Philadelphia Brigade, which
held the centre of the Union line and received the
famous onslaught of Pickett's Division, will en-
terrain representatives of the survivors of that
celebrated division on the scene of the struggle.
This is most conspicuous event in the history of
the field since the battle was fought, and the cere
monies between hosts and guests will be of the
most interesting character. To the veteran it
will be most memorable occasion, while the gen.
eral visitor will find it the best opportunity ever
offered of seeing the battlefield. The field is one
of the most interesting fairgrounds in the
world, and there is none other containing as many
monuments. One hundred and one monuments
and tablets mark the spots where the most i'm
portant events Of the fight occurred.

sylvania Railroad Company will sell excursion

G9-I In conversation lately New York railroad
man said that the mile minute speed is myth.
Occasionally, he says, trains on stretch Of level
track with an easy grade make mile minute,
but the fastest express train in the United States,
the New York and Philadelphia limited, on the
Pennsylvania Railroad, averages 4s 2-1O miles an
hour. The average fast express of the United
States reaches 364 miles an hour. The fastest
train in the world is the "Flying Dutchman,"
which averages 500 miles an hour, between Lon
